Probably performance. So yes, do go check out FF again. ;)
Allowing extensions on mobile would deprive them of valuable mobile advertising revenue. uBlock Origin works great in Firefox for Android.

Is there a mobile browser that does allow extensions?
Firefox on Android. Been using it for a few days with uBlock origin and it seems quite worthwhile.
In general I've found that FF have been proactively fixing their perf, memory and usability stories. With exception to the rare occurrence such as this, Chrome has been on a steady decline.

These advanced power users want the unfathomable ability to install Chrome in a different directory. The only solution involves downloading the Windows "Junction" utility and creating a symbolic link. Surprisingly, an actual employee (uh, "Googler," whatever that means) deigns to appear, but only to inform everyone that there is no solution except to download Chrome from Google Pack. The Pack version won't let you pick a location either, but its default is different, or at least it was until Google Pack was discontinued.
You know what, I think I'm just going to see how Firefox has been doing. I can't even remember why I switched.
